abstract = {Relativistic electron rings hold the possibility of very
high accelerating rates, and hopefully a relatively cheap
and compact accelerator/collimator for ultrahigh energy
proton source. In this work, we investigate the generation
of helical shaped quasi-monoenergetic relativistic electron
beam and high-energy proton beam from near critical density
plasmas driven by petawatt-circularly polarized-short laser
pulses. We numerically observe the efficient proton
acceleration from magnetic vortex acceleration mechanism by
using the three dimensional particle-in-cell simulations;
proton beam with peak energy 350 MeV, charge ~10nC and
conversion efficiency more than $6\%$ (which implies 2.4 J
proton beam out of the 40 J incident laser energy) is
reported. We detailed the microphysics involved in the ion
acceleration mechanism, which requires investigating the
role of self-generated plasma electric and magnetic fields.
The concept of efficient generation of quasi-monoenergetic
electron and proton beam from near critical density gas
targets may be verified experimentally at advanced high
power – high repetition rate laser facilities e.g.
ELI-ALPS. Such study should be an important step towards the
development of high quality electron and proton beam.},
